We’re making moves at Harley-Davidson. We’re pushing this company to very new places. We have the privilege of working for one of the greatest brands in history, and we want to have fun while we do it. This brand was made legendary by people having a great time being creative, riding motorbikes and living to tell the tale.

The role of Lead Copywriter is embedded within H-D Creative Studio: a multidisciplinary group of designers, illustrators, photographers, editors, producers, motion graphics artists, and strategists. We support, integrate, and collaborate with our peers in Retail, General Merchandise (apparel), and Parts & Accessories. We shape and steer the brand by providing the overarching creative vision for all marketing efforts. This role is responsible for concepting and developing creative copy for all consumer-facing brand moments, working in close partnership with the Creative Director and team at large. This includes development of original content, online collateral (banners, taglines), advertising campaigns, email/newsletters, and other online marketing initiatives. You’ll be in the mix with pretty much everything.

While this role reports into our Milwaukee, WI corporate office, we are open to this individual working remotely from a home office.
